Pre-eating Play: Fabrication Experiences for Playful Human–Food Interaction
summary
Surveys playful snack products and maps four concrete design moves: shape customization, optional challenges, nonmandatory play, and taste as secondary. Proposes a laser-cuttable tapioca-based dough that expands ~4.1× in volume, uses groove-guided deformation to steer post-bake shapes, and supports assembly like plastic model kits so pieces interlock. Reports measured larger deformation with grooved cuts versus plain dough and highlights compatibility with both digital and analog cutting.
